Advancing education in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics
In 2024, CAML signed an agreement with the Eurasia Foundation of Central Asia to implement a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) programme in Balkhash. As part of the first phase, 69 teachers from 16 schools across Balkhash received training in STEAM-related subjects.
Alongside the training, a comprehensive audit of school STEAM classes was conducted to assess available equipment and technical resources, and a needs assessment was carried out to identify gaps in teacher capacity. Based on the findings, seven schools were selected to participate in the second stage of the programme. This year-long phase involved contracting subject specialists to help introduce STEAM education into these schools and to enhance further their facilities and access to learning resources.

We provide professional development, vocational training and retraining courses to our employees and contribute to broader education through the provision of community training programmes, scholarships and investment and support for local schools.
We have implemented a number of resource-use efficiency initiatives. In addition to this, we are focused on renewable energy acquisition or generation and fuel improvements. At Kounrad, we are constructing a solar farm to replace 16% of the project’s energy consumption with renewables.
